2o11 ProgramLike the previous editions, the 7th edition of the Angkor Photo Festival does not have a themed program, but proposes to discover - or rediscover - artists from all over the world. Consistent with the festival’s mission of highlighting emerging Asian photographers, 7o of the 11o photographers exhibiting in 2o11 are from Asia.

The Angkor Photo Festival is a place to meet, connect and dialogue with friends and fellow photography professionals.

The 2o11 program of 1o outdoor and indoor exhibitions and 8 evenings of outdoor slideshows is curated by :

> Françoise Callier, the Program Coordinator of the Angkor Photo Festival, in consultation with a 9-member international committee.

Each year, the festival dedicates 2 evenings of slideshows as a « Carte Blanche » to two well-known figures in photography . Our 2 invited curators for 2o11 are :

> Wang Xi / Curator - China

> A duo of personalities in the international field of photography: Sylvie Grumbach / Director of the international press relations agency 2e Bureau - France Jean-Yves Navel / Founder member and Director of the Angkor Photo Festival - France
